Smile: the life of Rafeal Leao told by nss

"I'm smiling because God has given me an incredible gift, and the work I've done up to this moment - because I've done so much work - has been rewarded by this success." Rafael Leão is one of the most promising and strongest players in the world. The striker for AC Milan and the Portuguese national team has already become an icon at the age of 22 - thanks to his goals, his dribbling and, above all, his unmistakable style of play. Rafa has an infectious smile, a plastic beauty and an unusual spontaneity. All qualities that we learnt to know and love when we saw him with the ball between his feet.

Now it's time to get to know his personal story, his relationship with his father, his footballing rise, his way of communicating on social media, his passion for trap music and fashion. In short, Leão is more than just a footballer. Between anecdotes about the Scudetto, about Ibrahimovic, Maldini and his team-mates, confessions and revelations about his private life, the deep meaning of fame and celebrity and his musical passions, in this book curated by nss Rafa is not only the champion who reveals his soul, the boy from Almada who dreams of big stages, exploits on the pitch, victories and trophies, together with his team, but also the symbol of a generation that shuns simple labels.
